The Terrible Result Of the Use Of the Instd-
'ious Drug-A Doctor Dying Therefrom.
ERIE, PA. Jan. 16.-Dr. Charles N Moore,
Of Springfield, hamlet in Erie County,
lies dying tonight from the effects of the
new drug, cocaine, The circumstances
are most distressing, and the Doctors con-
dition is the subject of much discussion
among the medical fraternity The
doctor, a man of forty-five and of
twenty years. practice applied the
drug hypodermically TO allay the
pain produced by piles, He began it about
year since, and with the desired re-
suits. In May he was stricken in a pecu-
liar manner, and lay in a comatose condi-
tion while on trip East. AT this time
the hallucinations peculiar to the effects
ascribed by the use of cocaine appeared
in his case. From that on and until: a
week ago the spells occurred fortnightly,
and were characterized by the most
distressing mental torture. Eminent med
ical skill was summoned, and, while there
was difference of opinion, the majority
believe that the DOCTORS malady results
from the cumulative effects Of the insid-
ious poison. The doctor had continued TO
serve his patients between his spells until
early last week, when a prolonged period Of
suffering left him in a state of imbecility,
and during his rawlings and battling Of i'm
aginary assaults he contracted a severe
cold, and pneumonia set in. A feature of
his mental disorder was to fix upon an
hour Of to-day for his dissolution, and so
strong was that vagary that his physician
placed him under the influence Of narcotics
